How to Land the Gig:

You’ll be responsible for getting PETA Latino’s message to the public through the media, so excellent written and verbal communication skills in both Spanish and English are critical to this role.

Working with high-profile individuals requires the ability to be honest, reliable, and discreet. Experience working in a similar field will show us that you have what it takes.

You're going to be working with the public, reporters, celebrities/influencers, publicity firms, stylists, and more, so the ability to deal with a variety of people in a professional manner will be essential.

We need someone who can hit the ground running with ideas for media and celebrity/social media influencer campaigns, so extensive interest in and knowledge of Latin popular culture is a must.

We’re looking for a top-notch writer, so perfectly presented application materials go a long way.

Creativity is key! You must be able to not only develop and pitch ideas, but also develop and execute a plan to turn those ideas into reality.

We need a strategic thinker who can conduct and analyze research and work both independently and with the team to maximize the reach of our campaigns for animals.

Many people say that they "thrive under pressure," but this position has no shortage of tight deadlines, so you must really be able to crank out high-quality work within short timeframes.

This is a high-stakes job! Dealing with the media and celebrities means that you must be very organized and pay close attention to detail.

You’ll be working with the press and celebrities, so a professional appearance is key.

You must be at least 21 years of age and have a valid U.S. drivers' license, a minimum of three years of driving experience, and a satisfactory driving record

This position is responsible for getting our message out to the media and celebrities/social influencers, so you must know PETA campaigns and animal rights issues inside and out.

You must support PETA's philosophy and have the ability to professionally advocate our positions on issues.

Naturally, you'd need to be committed to the objectives of the organization, and living a vegan lifestyle would be a part of this.

About PETA

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the largest animal rights organization in the world, with more than 6.5 million members and supporters.

PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: in the food industry, in the clothing trade, in laboratories, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of rodents, birds, and other animals who are often considered “pests” as well as cruelty to domesticated animals.
